Minimum Dual-core CPU required, 2.3 GHz 32-bit or 64-bit 2.8GHz or higher recommended for 720p or higher streaming 2GB RAM minimum 4GB RAM and 64-bit OS recommended for 720p or higher streaming 200MB free hard disk space for installation Hard disk space for recording to disk 512 MB PCI-Express graphics card with 3D acceleration GeForce or Radeon class card recommended Sufficient upload speed for streaming Minimum recommended is twice the bandwidth of the total bit rate of the stream
Internet Connectivity
Internet connectivity with HTTP/HTTPS port 80, and RTMP port 1935 open for streaming.
Upload rates: 650Kbps minimum for 240p streaming. 2500Kbps minimum for 720p streaming. 4500Kbps minimum for 1080p streaming.
Note: Lowering canvas frame rate and/or streaming resolution decreases CPU usage. An upload rate of at least double the desired streaming rate is recommended. External game play may require a portion of your internet upload bandwidth.
Hardware Requirements (minimum)
720p streaming @ 30 fps: Intel Sandy Bridge Core i5 CPU @ 2.3Ghz or higher. 1080p streaming @ 30 fps: Intel Sandy Bridge Core i7 CPU @ 3.0Ghz or higher.
Note: Using 60 fps and 4Mbps (minimum) results in higher quality streaming, but it also increases CPU usage.

may be required for recording to disk.)

5Limitations
Some encoders may display grayed-out and cannot be selected. In Windows 7, if the integrated card is not connected to a monitor, you need to create a virtual dis-play.
Using SLI on a game, or using different adapters for a game and Gameshow, either of these will result in a slower capture path, which will lead to decreased perfor-mance, frame rate, and increased CPU usage.

Pre-made templatesQuick Start
Welcome to Gameshow: Easy, powerful game streaming software.
This Quick Start Guide will show you how to get started using Gameshow.
Note: It is best to have your game up and running before you use this Quick Start guide.
When you first open Gameshow, you will be prompted to choose from one of several ways to start your broadcast. You can build your own template, or use a pre-made template.
Build your own templates
-
Quick Start8If you want to build your own, you can select a blank document that lets you fully customize your stream. Or, you can select a game document to stream just your game. You can also select a game and camera document, which will incorporate your Webcam.
If you do not want to build your own template, you can select a pre-made template for one of many popular games. In this example, the Grand Theft Auto template is selected.
Click Next to continue.

Quick Start 9When the Template Configuration window displays, configure your template. Choose between Twitch or YouTube as your broadcast destination. If you are using a Blank document, make sure to include an accurate game title so you can be discovered by your followers.
In this example the built-in camera and microphone are changed to use external USB devices.

Quick Start10The Gameshow interface, displays a Preview Window where you can develop your shots before going live, a Live Window, and three Master Layers where you set up your shots (scenes).
If you are using a pre-made template (like Grand Theft Auto), all of your shots (or scenes) are automatically placed on layer number two. Gameshow detects and inserts your game into each shot.

Quick Start 11Though there is no correct way to set up your layers, it is important to keep in mind that each layer will overlay any layers below it. For example, whatever element is on the top layer will be shown above all other elements on other layers.
It works the same for layers within shots. If you want to customize a specific shot (or scene), double-click the shot to open the Shot Editor to enable dynamic editing.

When the shot editor opens, you can interact with each element in the shot. For example, if you move the Grand Theft Auto shot above the camera shot, the camera shot disappears.
To edit any specific element within a shot, click the element to select it. You can select it in either the Shot Layers menu or in the Shot Preview window.
